Welcome to my October e-Magazine.

If you are having issues viewing this email you can read the e-Magazine via my website here.

This is the last eMagazine I will be able to send prior to the dissolution of parliament as once parliament has been dissolved there will no longer be any MPs.

Thank you for continuing to read and engage with my award winning eMagazine and I hope to continuing sending it after 12th December.

Planning

As well as the updates on planning applications in the Edinburgh South section of the newsletter there are a couple of other local updates:

Site east of Winton Gardens – developers are looking to build a care home on the site. I have supported local residents in fending off attempts to build houses on this site for many years and will listen to the community on this latest application. Fairmilehead Community Council hosted an exhibition with developers this week and a planning application can be expected in the near future.

Mayfield Road – 19/04768/FUL & 19/04858/FUL for student accommodation covering 200 and 224 Mayfield Road. This application has now been lodged on the Council’s planning portal. You can view and comment on the current application by visiting the planning portal and searching for 19/04768/FUL & 19/04858/FUL.

Jobs and volunteering with Teens +

“At TEENS+, although we are a unique service we are facing this challenge.

“Please feel free to circulate within your networks and contact lists that we always have sessional vacancies open and often there are other internal opportunities available to apply for working at TEENS+ once a sessional worker.

https://www.teensplus.org.uk/working-with-us/

I would really appreciate if you could pass on the link and also invite people to consider TEENS+ as an employer in the disability and autism support sector as well lifelong learning and education fields.”

Cameron Toll to BioQuarter – Active Travel Route consultation:

The City of Edinburgh Council is working with NHS Lothian, Scottish Enterprise and the University of Edinburgh to improve the route between Cameron Toll and the Edinburgh BioQuarter for cyclists and pedestrians.

Our aim is to make it easier for people to travel by bike or on foot along the route. Initial plans include segregated cycle lanes which separate cyclists from the road traffic, improved junctions and crossings to create a safe and direct route and better connections to other walking and cycling routes.

Whatever your views about the proposals, we want to hear from you.

An online survey is available until 25 November 2019. Further information about the project can be found on the project website.
